Athlete welfare

Every athlete deserves a safe and positive sports environment. SPEAK UP if the way you are being treated feels wrong.

At LA Dive Club, all coaches are required to annually sign a statement acknowledging receipt and understanding of the USOC and NGB’s Coaching Ethics Code and their obligation to comply with such codes.

All Dive Club members and their parents are required to sign and abide by the policies and rules set forth in the Dive Club Athlete Code of Conduct.

Dive Club has an Athlete Welfare Advocates, Katherine Starr (katherine@safe4athletes.org) who will assist athletes in voicing their concerns. Our Athlete Welfare Advocate has volunteered to be available to any athlete who is concerned about the conduct of coaches, staff, volunteers, or other athletes and wants to talk about it. If you are unable to reach Katherine Starr, you may also contact Tom Stebbins by email bruindiving@yahoo.com or cell phone (310) 387-5565,
